This is eleven less than the total number last year, which was a season's record of its kind in turf history. The present number, however, does not indicate that the record of last year will not be equaled, or perhaps even surpassed, as there are several trotters.

especially youngsters, that hav trialed close to the 2.10 mark and are still in the live list for fast records. How many the exposition meeting will add present list is hard to guess, except that it will be several. not through the big meeting alone, but) i NEW HAVEN, Oct. 29. Yale will not reinstate the five proml-nine athletes who recently withdrew from collegiate competition, so long as the Yale rule concerning playing so-called summer Laseball stands in Its present form.

This was made plain tonight by Professor Robert N. Cor-win, chairman of the Yale athletic committee, who made public a letter he had written to Dean. Le Baron R-Briggs. of Harvard. Both Harvard and Princeton had written to Professor Corwin, expressing the desire of the undergraduates of those universities that the athletes be allowed to rejoin their Items.

Professor Corwin's letter says in part: "In not copiplying with Harvard's request that the men who have withdrawn rejoin their teams, I trust that we shall not appear to you ungracious or unappreciative of your leiter and the spirit prompted it. I wish that it were possible for us to accede to Harvard's request, but I do not see how this can be done without serious harm to the cause for which both Harvard and Yale men are working." Professor Corwin. however, expressed the hope that the question of whether the summer baseball rule is fair or reasonable may be discussed soon at a joint meeting of representatives of Harvard, Princeton and Yale. ror tne iact mat me t-acinc coast Fulmer ways adds many either early in Ibe'cjiiD, The football elevens of Yale and Harvard, both of which have suffered defeat this fall, face the hardest test today in the week-end games of the eastern gridiron schedule. The Elis will meet the unconquered and un-scored on Colgate team while the Crimson plays Penn State, victors over Pennsylvania and other combinations' of lesser pigskin calibre.

The other football leaders of the section are more fortunate and are not likely to be so pressed as was the case in the games of the previous Saturday. Princeton will tackle Wil-liims; Cornell will have Virginia Polytechnic as its opponent at Ithaca; Lafayette will invade Philadelphia and meet Pennsylvania; Dartmouth lines up against Amherst: Villa Nova faces the Army and the North Carolina Aggies will try to sink the Navy. Yale Must Show Improvement. ITnless Tale shows a remarkable improvement in form, Colgate is likely to make the meeting between the two teams at New Haven an hiter-esfmg one for the Blue, as Washington and Jefferson did last Saturday. The Hamilton eleven has proved a powerful scoring machine this season and in the four games to date has rolled up 208 points to their opponents' zero.

The Army was the only combination to hold the Colgate players in check to any extent, being defeated after a hard struggle, 13 to 0. With the Princeton contest only two weeks away, Tale must begin to develop the full extent of its power immediately and it may if the Elis may rise to the occasion today. Acquinine Quintet, of rmiaueipnia, was hardly good enough for practice against Brownson last night, losing out bv a one-sided score of 3 to on the local floor. The game was a farce throughout, the Quaker City Ave being unable to And the basket, while the "Big Five" scored at wilL The locals passed the ball between themselves for several minutes at times without losing it. The fame gave the Brownsoniau a chance to try some fancy shots and time and again the spectators were brought to their feet by the wonderful tossing of the McDonough Brothers and Lacey.

The most spectacular shot of the game was scored by Mark' McDonough on a one-handed toss from the far side of the floor with several of the opposing players blocking him. Manager Jack ulvpna announced during the game that he has completed his schedule and from now on only first class teams, including a number in the big leagues around Philadelphia will be the attraction.

Prellminarv Game A thorough housecleaning, that will result in the release of at least ten reterans, including seven whose lames are already known, will be instituted by the New York American league club within the nexi fortnight. Just as soon as Colonel Jacob Ruppert and Captain Til Huston get ail their new players signed up they will begin sifting out the men whom they regard as having outlived their usefulness as Yankees. Reliable information as to the -personnel of the squad which is to get the gate has just been obtained. -The pitching corps will be hit the hardest. Those who are to be released, include Carroll Brown.

Ray Keating, King Cole, Marty McHale and Ensign Cot-trell. pitchers, and Birdie Cree and FeteDailey, outfielders. Others to Get Gate. There are a few others who also will get the gate. If they cannot be placed with other big league or minor clubs, they will be tendered their unconditional releases.

Bill Donovan Is so overstocked with players that he will be absolutely unable to hold on to any except those who are known to be real assets for the club in its march on the first division, and perhaps a leading position next season. Colonel Ruppert is determined to make the cleanup thorough. "Some of the players last season did not earn one-tenth of the salaries they were drawing from our he said, "and we have made up our minds that nobody but those who can make good will be carried by ua next season. "Reports that we were dissatisfied with the showing made by Bill Donovan are false. Donovan, under the circumstances," did fine work.

He had an outfield that could not field and an infleld that could not hit. The spring or late in the fall. A number of trotters that showed fast clips, either in races or starts against time, but failed to reach the 2.10 mark, especially at Lexington, are still there, and will no dofibt make one or more efforts jto reach the extreme speed class. According to re ports, another breeders" meeting will be held there this week, and mayDe one more before all horses are retired into winter quarters, as most of them i I nave uren in nue snape ana uenrmira i Ttice by existing fine weather conditions, QalafnM. their addition to the fast list is a fore-j Kllroy gone conclusion.

BEAN GROWERS 'Continued from Page Sixteen.) dry pea or navy, medium and kidner beans intended for use as food for man are sent customarily by the growers to elevators where the beans are sorted by hand-picking so as to eliminate the beans which are wholly or in part filthy, decomposed or putrid. It has been represented that in the process of hand-picking nearly all moldy or musty beans are removed, but that it is no practicable to re-those which are slightly decomposed.

The department has not recommended the seizure of dry and mature pea or navy, medium or kidney beans which have been hand-picked in ac- cordancej with good commercial prac- tice.

There is a new GfWt White Way in New York in the Wall Street district. In ordinary times the street is dark and glum at nightfall, but it now gleams with brilliant lights on every hand. Brokers' offices, bond houses', dealers in cotton, grain and metals, all are so busy that they are working night and day shifts. The boom reminds the few survivors of ancient days of the bustling times of gold speculation. It is a poor day when less than 1.000.000 shares are sold on the Stock Exchange.

In one day last week worth of bonds were sold. Everybody in the district shares in the prosperity. Restaurants which ordinarily bid for the noon trade and close before dusk are now a-glitter with glaring electric signs, "We Are Open at Night." Tailors and barbers in the streets near the financial district are all bustling with new business. Barkeepers have invented new drinks to stimulate the hardworkers; but this traffic has not increased as much as others. The old, old hansomj cabs have come back.

There are twenty-four horses in the list, headed by Peter Volo, 2.02. and 2.03 next, while the slowest are five, all with records of 2.08 1-4.

The average of these twenty-four Is exactly in 2.0. certainly the most wonderful speed average ever recorded. The only 3-year-old in this list is Bondella. that reduced her 2-year-old mark of 2.10 to 2.07 3-4 In a race that would have gained championship honors except for Mary Putney. That young trotters make up a majority also in the reduced list is shown by the fact that six are 4-year-olds and the same number 5-year-olds, and all others, except Bertha Carey.
